How to enable Server choosing on PhpMyAdmin?

I'm开发者_开发问答 running XAMPP on my local host, and i want phpmyadmin to add another field of server on login page, so i can manage an external mysql server as well..

Is that possible?

Thanks

in the phpMyAdmin config file add another configuration block, the file in question is config.inc.php , make sure that before the new configuration block you do $i++;

It's actually pretty easy. Just add another block of code for the second server.

The configuration starts at: $i++;
The configuration ends before: // If you have more than one server configured...

Just copy and paste that (make sure you include $i++), and change the settings to the new server.

You need to adjust the configuration of the mysql server you want to connect to so it allows connecting from the outside.

I suggest you use MySQL Workbench to administrate your mysql server(s).
